For the past Eve years | have de-
voted a good share of my time 70
poultry keeping. | have not learned
all about the business, TO be sure; but
here are some OF the results Of my
experience, for the benefit of Rural
readers:
Myfavorite breeds are the Plymouth
Rock and WyAndotte, between the
merits Of which | can see no differ
ence. Last spring l built a house
l2x25 feet, making three pens housing
20 fowls. Some think that when the
biddies are sheltered from the wind,
that is all that's required; but they do
best when the thermometer is kept at
90 degrees. II their house is warmer
than that. they will not exercise. and
become too fat; whereas, if the place
is too cold, the bad results are the
same MY house is heated with an oil
stove with heater drum, and there is
no trouble in regulating the tempera-
ture as required at a cost Of one gallon
os oil a day Under each roof there
Is 8 shelf 20 catch the droppings. and
these are hoed up every second day and
put into barrels, aud dry sand Is sprin-
kled on the shelf. For dust bath |
put ashes in one pen and in the other
tw0 dry sand.
Morning feed-Boiled potatoes or
turnIps with two parts OF bran and
one part Of corn meal scalded and a
liberal supply Of salt, with beef scraps
two or three times week. Noon. oats
strewed on ground. Evening, equal
parts % wheat and cracked corn
strewed as az noon. This makes them
exercise. keeping up health and vIgor.
on very cold days feed a little cay
enne pepper, and / also keep before
them plenty Of oyster shells and
ground bone. Fowls want water in
winter a. vel as in summer. / keep q
fresh supply free from ice where the
Z biddies can get az IL
The temperature Of the house should
. be regulated by means of a thermom-
eter. and ne must bear in mind that q
uarIn house saves feed. Two years
ago | was troubled with q feather.
